Kagan's article in TNR was so powerful in its argument that Obama invited the celebrated right-of-center historian [one of my favorites whose books I devour voraciously] to lunch to compare Weltanschaungs.
I was hoping that Kagan could suggest the Obungler to grow a spine rather than simply "lead from behind."
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
